where i wanna be

Been so busy lately (actually only the past 3 days), I don't even have time to go see flowers tmr. Sooner or later though!! Jio me k baaboon!

Been really exercising! I'm feeling fitter, and for the first time, I have a tan for cny :) Actually not really a tan, just sun-kissed for the day. Which will probably fade soon haha.

I've been meeting the most unlikely people in the most random places, but it always brings a smile to my face, such unexpected yet pleasant surprises :)) I suspect that was Yin Hong playing bball for NUS on Thursday, then I saw Kelvin at taka last night, my junior at ECP today and finally Jelly at Eunos at 11.30pm tonight! haha. Long time no see.

I came across a really amusing phenomenon today. I was with Yiyu and Shaun, and we were happily cycling while the other 2 uncles were trailing kms behind in their skates...so basically it was just the 3 of us. And on our way back from the changi beach park PCN, we were blocked by this "couple" on a tandem bike, and what was really cool was that only the guy in front was cycling. The passenger, with long rebonded hair, was just sitting behind, playing a guitar and singing. Like how romantic is that? I was like, :))))) We were enjoying it so much, cos the live music was so good, we decided to slow down and just trail behind them, like their entourage. So after "Be with you", we cheered for them and the "girl" turned partially to smile at us. That's when we suspected both were guys. Initially I thought "she" was strumming to music played from a music player or handphone, but it turned out "she" was singing. But guys' song and guy's voice! Uh-oh. So after "La Bamba" (which reminded me of vjc), we finally had enough, overtook and had a good look at the "girl". HAHA. Both were guys!!! Interesting eh? The guy in front must have been quite strong and had very good balance to be able to cycle the both of them on a heavy tandem bike! Anyway I was happy to soak up the sun, wind, music and scenery. I MUST make it all the way to changi beach park and maybe to pasir ris park too if the PCN linked them all. Next time! Shall borrow a bike or rent for maybe 4 hours or the whole day ;) And pick up blading too!! Whee! I saw a few planes take off and land and the sights and sounds made me :)))) too. I thought of the last night cycling trip with the jays, where we cycled on the road alongside the changi runway (as there was no PCN then) and we felt like we owned the whole road, and we were at the top of the world :)

ECP is fast becoming my fave haunt =) It's no wonder the place was littered with campers today and it's always flooded with foreigners and locals alike. Everyone wants a nice little break away from the concrete jungle and traffic lights on a weekend.

I've been really happy since Thursday night. It's been a long time, and I'm starting to see the light :) Despite the holiday mood, one must not forget to mug! Haha.




"People observe the colours of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colours. Waxy yellows, cold-spat blues, murky darkness..." - The Book Thief (Markus Zusak)
